Um... What was that about being concerned about bloat and waste in the government? Where are those checks and balances, Congress?

Instead of gutting government programs that make the world a safer place we should be cracking down on ubiquitous tax avoidance by our country’s biggest corporations.

You absolutely are not allowed to be in charge of science funding if you don’t know the difference between transgenic and transgender, and you should probably lose your $175/yr taxpayer job if you’re this bad at it

2025, the year Trump aims for USA to be #1 in avoidable morbidity and mortality, beating prior record held by [checks notes] the Trump administration. I guess Trump didn't kill enough people last time. When 2024 voters said health costs were #2 concern, pretty sure this isn't want they meant.

It's been a while since I published. I've been working on a book--a memoir about my brother, murdered in 2018, & how his life helped me think about the man who killed him. This piece reflects on that book. In a chaotic world filled with abhorrent news, perhaps this story can bring a little light

When I took the US Citizenship test, I seem to recall a major emphasis on the federal government’s “checks and balances” to prevent 1 branch from having too much power. That system doesn’t appear to be working very well. 😖

Since I was laid off from Vox a few weeks ago, I no longer cover public health for that outlet -- but I sure do stay in touch with my many sources at the CDC and in public health more broadly The overwhelming msg they're getting this week is that this admin simply has no idea how anything works

At some point I need to do a thread about stupid things well-meaning people do thinking it's helpful. Today I stumbled on folks donating used underwear to send to Africa. Folks, people do not need your used knickers. Seriously. Don't believe me? See below.

new @teenvogue.com: @brittneymac15.bsky.social digs into the details of Trump's exec order on trans youth healthcare. I checked with an @aclu.org senior attorney on what trans youth and their families should plan for. in short: no changes RN; stay on top of your healthcare; don't comply in advance.

Not only is doing so abhorrent & inhumane, but HIV drugs prevent people from spreading HIV to others. In the 1990’s HIV/AIDS was a top killer, even in USA. That virus doesn’t care about borders, orientation, class. Viruses know no borders. #GlobalHealth matters

The suspension of PEPFAR is not acceptable, not even for a moment. You cannot threaten taking someone’s HIV meds away, much less actually do it. The HIV medical community cannot stand for it. Shall we protest? @gregggonsalves.bsky.social @idsainfo.bsky.social @paulsaxmd.bsky.social

This right here. #HealthCare is more expensive than any comparable country, by far. None of the talk is about WHY health care is more expensive, just costs. But all those other countries have 2 things the USA doesn’t: 1. #UniversalHealthCare and 2. Government regulation of health care costs.
